The TAC is expected to take a proactive as well as reactive role in dealing with these issues. Committee members may also choose to become involved in regional transportation planning efforts as observers, such as Route 2 planning efforts or Fitchburg rail-line improvements. However, the focus of the committee is on local transportation issues.

The TAC may be called on as needed to participate in Town Meeting presentations of local transportation issues or appropriation requests, hold public meetings, and respond to specific citizen requests concerning local transportation issues or improvements. The TAC also provides assistance and support in the implementation of the goals and objectives of the Town’s Master Plan.
